The same goes for our design work. The impression that our work gives depends on a myriad of different factors. One of the most important factors of any design is color. Color reflects the mood of a design and can invoke emotions, feelings, and even memories. If you haven’t gone back to the basics of color theory lately, you might find some insights that you’ve overlooked. Figuring out which colors work well with others isn’t just a matter of chance. Primary Colors Colors start out with the basis of all colors, called the Primary Colors. Secondary Colors If you evenly mix red and yellow, yellow and blue, and blue and red, you create the secondary colors, which are green, orange and violet.

Tertiary Colors Tertiary colors are made when you take the secondary colors and mix them with the primary colors. Complimentary Colors Analogous Colors Triads Split Complimentary Colors Red Orange.
